Ubisoft Brings us another new title showing there not afraid to take risks when it comes to trying something new. For Honor brings us some of histories greatest and noble warriors, the Vikings, Knights, and Samurais squaring off in a history battle royal.

For Honor is a great concept with a wonderful, fresh and unique battle system that delivers well. You start off the game creating an emblem on a shield, after that is complete you have the choice of playing through single player or multiplayer; there is no really point in playing single player unless you want to unlock stuff (This is mainly a Multiplayer game). From there you can choose which multiplayer mode you want to take part in, duel ( 1 VS 1), Dominion ( 4 VS 4), and Brawl ( 2 VS 2). I really enjoyed playing duel the most the other ones I was carrying the people I was playing with and then getting destroyed; after you choose the mode you want to play you choose the faction you want to represent, and from there you can choose three or four different warriors from that faction that are all unique with different weapons and move sets.

For Honor is a solid game with a cool concept and great gameplay, but it suffers terribly from the peer to peer network it can take minutes to connect to an opponent, while in game your opponent can glitch out on you so much making it impossible to play and giving you a loss that is a huge problem.

For Honor 5/10

Lego Worlds Review

ICE, Gamers of the Round Table

Traveller’s Tales & Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment bring us a whole new Lego game, nothing licensed; Lego Worlds is like a breath of fresh air with potential, but fails to grab my attention.

The game starts off in space and your space ship breaks down; it’s at this point you will begin to do a little customization of your character.  Once you are finished with customizations, you will enter the first world which is the pirate world.  Your objective is to collect enough gold bricks to repair your ship and go to the next world; you do this is by completing tasks for people in this specific world.  Exploration is critical when it comes to completing tasks; along your journey you will pick up tools and as you use these tools you can complete the tasks assigned to you later on in order to get a gold brick.  As you explore each world you will find characters to interact with, whether it be just talking or fighting and as always in each world, you pick up Lego currency which will be used for building things with your discovery tool; each discovery cost different amounts to build.

Building in Lego Worlds is a large part of the game, but to compare it to Minecraft seems a little unfair when you look at all the freedom that you have when it comes to building in this game. You can build whatever you want with various Lego pieces in all shapes, sizes, and discoveries; building is a key element when it comes to completing certain tasks.

When you are looking to travel to a new world you must go into your space ship and it gives you several options; there are only four worlds that seem visible and they display how many gold bricks you need to unlock those worlds, but the more you collect the farther and bigger worlds you can go to.  Off to the side there are menus and buttons that give you options of what you want to do next, but it’s not clear what each button or menu allows you to do.  Your options in this menu, go to a randomly generated world, do a free build which cost 100 gold bricks.

Lego Worlds has great ideas and really fun worlds, but failed to amaze in a way that other Lego Games have in the past; Lego Worlds comes off as a crossover between Minecraft and No Mans Sky.

Lego Worlds 5/10
